So, getting a wild hair, another one of those semi-practical projects.
The plan is to rebore a .30-30 marlin .336 to .35/30-30. I see that CH4D has dies available for the "ackley" (40 degree shoulder, minimum taper). This will be an 18 inch, cast bullet rifle.
Now the big question, anyone here have any experience with the caliber? Plan is to throw 260(ish) grain or heavier cast bullets at about 1800 fps for pigs and deer in heavy cover.
